    eKANBAN App

    eKANBAN App

    Ruby Logic

    Processes of logistics and planning are the bloodstream of the factory and thanks to them it is possible to manufacture high-quality products. User-friendly and easy-to-use planning tools, as well as reports and analyses available in real-time, are something that enables efficient work of the department. Undoubtedly, materials and semi-finisheds delivery delays to production cells are the main problem occurring between logistics and production. They are also one of the main reasons for the low production to plan ratio. The second major problem is miscommunication between the consumers (production department) and the suppliers (in-house logistics department). In a constantly changing plant environment, the lack of quick access to complex analyzes is a real problem. Lack of information causes a lack of action, and this further results in remaining unconscious in a pathological situation.
